For the second bug, Shadow shouldn't respond in any way should you talk to her during the battle. Did you save and reload at any point during the battle? It can sometimes "cancel" the "effect" which stops her from responding.

No I did not re-load it at all, oh and I forgot to say this mod is amazing, the most complete, well done, mod I have seen to date. Simply amazing! Great mod, no more than a mod as this took me longer to beat than TSL, I really don't know what to call this.

How did you create the new Jedi Robes texture? The black one. So much detail. Great skins.
